Who is the Small Town Spanish Teacher? This new season of personal simple stories continues with an answer to the questions “where do I live?” (¿Dónde vivo yo?). When I first moved to the state (estado) of Colorado, I didn’t really like it. Over the past few years, though, I have come to really enjoy where I live. Although I am not from here, I now call Colorado home. In this episode I describe the nature (naturaleza) of where I live nestled in a valley (valle) among mountains (montañas), dessert (desierto), canyons (cañones), rivers (ríos) and creeks (riachuelos). I also describe my yard (jardín) with its garden (hortaliza) and chickens (gallinas), before finally describing my house (casa). You can find a transcript of the story and read along at smalltownspanishteacher.com. No matter where you are in your language journey, stories will help you on your way. Happy listening!
